INTRODUCTION
The ORCV support arrangements for the rally are designed to provide enjoyable and safe passages to King
Island and the return to Melbourne. While some yachts and crews participating in the event will be well tried
and experienced, our planning is based on the expectation that for some boats and crews the rally to King
Island may be their first substantial ocean experience.
The rally organisation features:-
• Advice and assistance for less experienced skippers and crew in their preparation for the event.
• Oversight of both the exit through the Rip and the return passage.
• Provision of yacht trackers to provide continuous monitoring of boat s positions by the Rally Director and
rescue organisations if required. The tracking system can also be monitored by partners and family and
has emergency SMS capabilities.
• Coverage
communications, weather monitoring and an incident management team.
• On water support by the Rally Director who will accompany the fleet in the passages to King Island and
Melbourne providing on water communication and support capabilities.
• Regular reporting schedules
However there are also are basic safety requirements which need to be satisfied by yachts and their crews.
